5.0 out of 5 stars Just the title makes me happy, January 23, 2004

This review is from: Power Yoga for Happiness with Eoin Finn (DVD)

Vancouver yoga teacher Eoin Finn is a favorite among video fitness enthusiasts for his first effort, Power Yoga by Eoin Finn. His second work features some very well thought out elements that are geared specifically towards the video yogi and yogini, along with a relaxed and playful vibe, beautiful settings and soothing music. This is a two (2!) CD set that features several routines from 30-90 minutes of vinyasa yoga. The instruction is a voice over by Eion, with Eion and other models showing modifications for beginners, intermediates and "double black diamonds", or advanced versions of asanas.

For lovers of vinyasa style yoga, this CD offers a lot of variety, from the 30 minute Yoga Quickie, to a hip-opening routine entitled Magically Hips, to a challenging 90 minute, Full Happiness routine. This video does assume the user's basic knowledge of vinyasa style yoga, but again, basic modifications are plentiful and easy to find, as are more advanced poses such as Tittibasana and the jaw-dropper Eka Pada Galavasana.

Eion's sense of humour is irrepressible, whether featuring a canine member of the cast with his own purple sticky mat, to the chapter points that describe Sun Salutations "eh" and "B" (the group is from Canada). For me, this is a refreshing change from the rather rarified quality of so many other videos on the market today. And the routine is just great, a wonderful balance of strength and stretch for the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.

The only thing missing from this fantastic CD is a "zen" soundtrack that was originally planned--a soundtrack that features minimal description and basic cuing, a great option once you are familiar with the poses and the flow of the routines. No biggie, though, as it is very good to hear the things that Eoin has to say.

All in all, a great DVD, one that I know I will be reaching for again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE ONE!, January 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Power Yoga for Happiness with Eoin Finn (DVD)

Not only is this DVD the best bargain out there( five routines on 2 dvds) but it is the best yoga dvd I have ever owned or seen.

The camera work is beautiful. The setting is serene. The commentary is perfect. Not too much talking. Just enough. Not too much whip-cracking, just the right amount of emphasis on knowing when to push and when to back off. I found it very inspirational.

I loved the music too. Not too airy fairy. It was atmospheric ,soothing and energizing at times.

There are some humorous parts of the dvd too. Overall I have done 4 of the 5 rotuines and they all left me feeling great.

I also liked that I could pick a level of each pose that worked well for me so I can grow with this one as my yoga improves.

One last thing, there is something magical about this dvd. The people in it somehow feel like your friends by the end of the routine. It feels warm and fun.

I can't recommend this one enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Yoga Video!!!!, June 13, 2004

This review is from: Power Yoga for Happiness with Eoin Finn (DVD)

I own a number of different power yoga videos and this is my favorite. It is the perfect intensity with many variations given so the workout can be adjusted to your personal abilities or mood. Another reviewer mentioned the fact that all the routines start the same as a negative. I have to say that I really enjoy that part of it. I find that doing the same yoga routine over and over allows me to find something subtle and new each time I do it. But the beauty of this is that the same basic routine is given to you in several different lengths so you can fit it into your day perfectly no matter how much time you have.
